Daniel Smith 284055011 Watercolor Ground, 4 oz, Transparent

Used and it works as decribed. Used to keep area white on watercolor paper.

I wanted to paint a watercolor on a canvas board and this was a great product to use for my project. I gave my canvas 2 coats with a wide paint brush and it went down smooth and easily. I did like painting on it. The watercolor paints dry much quicker when applied on top of this material. Also it absorbs the color pigment more than regular watercolor paper. It took more time to get a dark color to stay dark when painting.

I'm still learning how to paint, always learning. This transparent goes on first and I love the way it preps the paper. Honestly, I'm not sure exactly how to explain what it does but it makes the paint from brush a bit smoother. And easier to correct any small mistakes or smudges, mostly if it's because it lifts a level of paint off the paper itself or what, I don't know. But great base coat.

This seems to be good as far as it goes. I have not yet fallen in love with it, but am prepared to believe that that is as much my lack of familiarity and skill as any issue with the product. I used it. It worked. It did seem to ... make the paint apply a little differently. I covered some unusual surfaces, covered some failed paintings, and errors in others. Tried mixing some color in. Used it for little spots of white. Tried it w some acrylic too. I just didn't really get the hang of it Not giving up on it. Just think there is probably a lot more to it than what I have discovered so far.

Works great for canvas

This is very much like gesso. Paint it on any surface, dry - then sand it if you want it a smooth surface, if you leave it, it is a very rough surface. I like to do a second coat, and again sand it. Now it’s fully prepped. It is a lot like heavy watercolor paper, but more absorbent. I’ve used it on wood, shells, glass, plastic and it allowed me to use watercolors as opposed to acrylics paints. It’s a great product if you prefer watercolor over acrylic painting. Kind of expensive for a small jar, especially if you’re doing any large projects. But it is high quality.

Never disappoint with a David Smith product. It stands up to the name. Very satisfied

Great for making texture and water color interest and techniques but it didn’t absorb the paint as much as the paper which could be good or bad depending on what your going for

Amazed at the range of colours available Haven't tried it yet on everything it says you can ( glass ,metal etc ) but happy with it on wood /mdf

Buena compra.

Accidentally bought watercolour paper which was not 100% cotton. It was difficult trying to paint on it, the smallest amount of water would buckle the paper. Applied watercolour ground on it with a broad soft brush, left it to dry overnight and paper became more usable. Colours spread as it should and was easier to lift. Paper was too stiff to buckle. A little of the paste goes a long way.

Cercavo un prodotto che aiutasse a dipingere sulle candele perchè l'acrilico direttamente sulla cera tende a sfaldarsi e a venire via facilmente, Ho dato due mani di questo prodotto e ha un'ottima tenuta: anche se carteggio e poi ripasso con spugna umida, il bianco non viene via. Il tempo di asciugatura e molto veloce, ma per sicurezza se il tempo è freddo e umido aspetto almeno 12 ore prima di colorare sopra.

Ich habe diesen Aquarell-Grund gekauft um damit Kunststoff zu behandeln und anschließend mit Aquarellfarben darauf zu malen. Die Masse ist relativ fest und lässt sich gut verarbeiten. Die Oberfläche bekommt je nach Auftrag dann eine schöne organische Struktur. Das Ergebnis ist genau wie ich es mir vorgestellt habe. Für vollständige Abdeckung brauchte ich zwei Schichten. Auf anderen Untergründen habe ich das Produkt bisher nicht getestet.
